C286 Three Fatal Shots
Every day, before noon, the competition between Duan Tianya and the abbot of Cangloong Temple would end. According to the previous agreement, three hundred moves, not one more move, not one less move.
Every time he changed his appearance, he would appear. During the competition, his expression was solemn, as if it had something to do with him, but had nothing to do with it.
For half a month, it was the same.
Late at night, there was no wind. Before the rainstorm, it would always be like this, making people feel like they could not breathe.
Duan Tianya lay on the soft bed. He found that he could not leave the bed. Suddenly, there was a sound from the roof. It was very light, and then a figure fell down. The window was gently pushed open, and he jumped in. Duan Tianya took a closer look and found that there were two people.
One was Cat's Ear and the other was Water Harrier. Both of them were covered in blood.
Duan Tianya quickly got up and asked, "What happened?"
Cat's Ear carried Water Harrier onto the bed and replied, "We were discovered by Yaen Shunba. The dog nose and snake tongue were both killed. "
Duan Tianya was stunned. Seeing Water Harrier's injuries, he asked again, "Is she alright?"
Cat's Ear said, "She suffered some superficial injuries. She will be fine after resting for a few days. "
"Where did you find him?"
Cat's Ear said, "Jiuxiao Manor!"
"Jiuxiao Manor?" Cat's Ear asked. Duan Tianya said, "That is Kou Lang's place. "
Cat's Ear replied, "Yes!" He continued, "The four of us followed Yaen Shunba to Jiuxiao Manor. We did not expect to be ambushed by a storm-like arrow. Water Harrier was injured, and. . . " He did not finish his sentence. The death of Dog nose and Snake tongue must have made him very sad. Luckily, Water Harrier was still alive.
At dawn, the promise of three hundred moves was like fate. But today, the abbot of Cangloong Temple did not arrive first. The first one to arrive was to put on a disguise. He was even thinner and paler, and his face was paler. The black color in his eye sockets seemed to match with the black ink.
He lightly coughed a few times, then walked up to Duan Tianya and asked, "He hasn't come yet?"
Duan Tianya said, "I should be the one asking this question. "
He changed his appearance and scanned his eyes. Only then did Duan Tianya see his bloodshot eyes clearly.
"You didn't sleep well?"
The disguise said, "You slept very well. If it wasn't to watch you fight, I would have slept for a long time. "
Duan Tianya said, "He won't come today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the abbot of Cangloong Temple jumped out from the attic and landed on the ground. He said, "Why won't I come?"
Duan Tianya said, "It looks like you are very happy today. "
Du Chi said, "Of course I am happy. I should be happy when I have something to be happy about. "
Duan Tianya said, "What kind of happy thing?"
The abbot did not hide anything. "I defeated you and killed you. "
Duan Tianya said, "It seems you are very confident. "
He said, "Because I am going to show my true ability today. "
"Three Life-Taking Strikes?"
The abbot said in surprise. "You know the Three Life-Taking Spears?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, my father-in-law is the disciple of Spear King Li Tai, and his spear manual only lacks the last three moves. "
After listening to this, he suddenly realized something. "So that's how it is. " He continued, "But just hearing about it is useless. "
Duan Tianya said, "You are right. You need to personally experience it before you can count. "
Lin Buqun and the others seemed to value today's competition as well, because they felt that the abbot was different.
Sure enough, the abbot was different from what they thought. With a thrust of his spear, ten moves and ten moves were launched. Duan Tianya waved his sword to meet the attack. Suddenly, he saw a chaotic scene in front of him. He couldn't tell which move was fake and which move was real.
Duan Tianya sensed that something was wrong. He hurriedly moved back, but he didn't know that it was right under the abbot's chest. He jumped forward and a spear tip appeared out of the dozens of moves. Duan Tianya saw that he couldn't dodge it in time, so he had to move his sword horizontally. He didn't know that the spear tip wasn't coming for him.
The abbot stabbed the spear into the crack in the limestone. He used all his strength and bent the spear into an arc. He took advantage of the opportunity and raised the spear. The spear was like a tiger out of its cage, piercing straight towards Duan Tianya's heart.
Duan Tianya was sent more than 30 meters away. The long sword in his hand was still vibrating, producing a buzzing sound. His arm felt numb all of a sudden, and he felt a slight pain on his shoulder blade. This move could be said to be a preemptive attack. It was a surprise attack, but it was also extremely ingenious.
Before Duan Tianya could stabilize his feet, the abbot swung his spear horizontally. However, several moves in a row were all counterattacks. The moves that should have been thrust forward had turned into a downward slash. The move that should have been thrust forward had turned into a horizontal slash, but it had become even more unexpected.
Duan Tianya seized the opportunity and found a flaw to stab at it. Who knew that the abbot would leap up? Although he leapt up, the spear in his hand was still standing upright on the ground.
The abbot borrowed the strength of the somersault to directly chop down the long spear. It was a good long spear, but the move he used was the use of the long rod.
Duan Tianya only took a step forward and dodged it. But when the long spear stabbed into his armpit, he realized that all the moves were premeditated.
His injuries were not serious because Duan Tianya had a bad feeling about it. However, he did not manage to dodge it.
Duan Tianya looked at his wound and could not help but tease, "No wonder you are so happy today. "
The abbot pointed the spear at him and said, "It's all thanks to you. "
"Thanks to me?"
Du Chi nodded and said, "If it wasn't for you exchanging blows with me these past few days, I wouldn't have been able to understand the essence of these last three spears. "
Duan Tianya said, "That move just now was one of the Life-Taking Three Spears' moves?"
He nodded and said. "Yes!"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "It's fierce. "
"But you still dodged it. "
Duan Tianya pointed at his wound and said teasingly, "I am not that relaxed either. "
He said: "This little injury is nothing. "
Duan Tianya said, "Looks like your second and third spear are your trump cards. "
The abbot did not explain further. He waved the long spear and jumped high into the air, stabbing continuously in the air. Three spear strikes. Duan Tianya raised his sword and stabbed forward. At this moment, he realized that the abbot in the air had disappeared, leaving only a long spear that was stabbing towards him. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the abbot had already arrived in front of him. He was holding a short knife in his hand, and it was aimed at Duan Tianya's abdomen. If he hadn't expected this, the long spear and the short knife would have stabbed into Duan Tianya's body at the same time. This way, there would be a long spear piercing his throat, and a short knife cutting his abdomen. This was really troublesome.
Duan Tianya stood where he was. Suddenly, the long spear stabbed into the bluestone ground on the left side. The bluestone ground shattered, and the abbot had already jumped to the left side.
Lin Buqun and the others were stunned. The move just now was as fast as lightning, and they would miss it in the blink of an eye.
Duan Tianya spat out a mouthful of blood. He took a deep breath and spoke in a relaxed tone. He said slowly: "That was close!"
The abbot threw the short knife to the side and pulled out the long spear. He said, "In today's Pugilistic World, you are the only one who can swing two swords at such a fast speed!"
Duan Tianya shook his head and denied it, "There are many people in the Pugilistic World who can do this. " He then said a few names. "Yuen Xiaotian, Tang Wuhua, White Crane, Duan Suiliang. Of course there are still many experts who have yet to appear in the world. "
